Thank you for your interest in the Community Nonprofit Advertising Fund!  We are excited to help local nonprofit organizations spread their message in our community with gifts of advertising on 97.9 The Hill WCHL and Chapelboro.com.

Advertising can take the form of live radio interviews, radio commercials, banners or articles on Chapelboro.com, and support through 97.9 The Hill and Chapelboro.com social media channels.  If your nonprofit organization is chosen we will work with you to build and coordinate the best possible messaging and advertising for you.  

For 2020 we will give advertising to 10 different nonprofit organizations, who will be chosen based on a community vote. The amount of advertising awarded to each nonprofit organization will be based entirely on the amount of funds raised through 97.9 The Hill and Chapelboro.com’s Campaign for Local between August 20th, 2020 and September 25th, 2020. *

*Note: The end date for donations has been extended to October 9th, 2020.

For example, if $100,000 is raised for 97.9 The Hill and Chapelboro.com through the Campaign for Local then each nonprofit organization would receive $10,000 in advertising credit, which can be used to promote their services in our community, fund raise, find volunteers, advertise events, and more.

To participate, simply fill out the application below by September 4th, 2020, and we will contact you to confirm that your organization will be included on the ballot.  Voting will take place starting September 9th and ending on September 25th, 2020.
